I am an intelligent, hardworking person with a passion for teaching and learning. I am a life long learner and curious about how things work. I've spent the last 13 years dedicated to working with students in roles as a teacher, building administrator and district level admin for Alpine School District. Before Alpine, I owned my own automotive repair shop for 10 years and still do classic car restoration and custom vehicle modifications and builds on the "side". There are very few things that I cannot fix, and most usually go back together with all their parts. In my spare time I run a consulting business helping with work flow, safety and modernization in school shops throughout the state and country.
